Xiao Lie originally had high expectations for the people coming from the Xiao Sect. The son of the Xiao Sect's leader must be a figure like a dragon from the sky.
But when he saw him, he was greatly disappointed. He did not see the aura, demeanor, self-restraint and appropriate pride that a direct descendant of a large sect should have. Instead, he saw only the arrogant and unpleasant look in his eyes, just like a dandy who grew up in pampering and flattery. But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved... After all, the Xiao Sect would never take this small Xiao Sect seriously, so how could they really send a "big shot" here? The identity of a "son of the sect master" was just a superficial expression of the importance they attached to the dead Xiao Zheng.
“Dad, I just heard from them that you and the Sect Master went to meet the Xiao Sect’s people. How come you’re back so soon?” Xiao Lingxi happened to come over to deliver food to Xiao Lie, and asked curiously, “Have the Xiao Sect’s people arrived? What do they look like? Are they particularly intimidating?”
Xiao Lingxi's words reminded him of the old man following Xiao Kuangyun, and he nodded: "The people of Xiao Sect are of course unfathomable. However, Xier, during the few days when the people of Xiao Sect are here, you should try not to contact them. The young man leading the group is not a good person. Avoid them if you can."
“Ah?” Xiao Lingxi blinked in confusion, then nodded gently, “I understand, Dad. I’m actually a little bit afraid of them. After all, they are from the Xiao Clan, so they must be extremely powerful.”
"Even if you are curious, try not to get close to them." Xiao Lie reminded them again, took a deep breath, and walked into the courtyard with a heavy heart.
"Dad? You look like you're worried about something. Did something big happen?" No one knows a father better than his daughter. Xiao Lingxi could tell at a glance that Xiao Lie was worried, so she asked nervously.
Xiao Lie was startled, then shook his head: "Nothing..." He paused for a moment, thinking that if he didn't say it, this thoughtful daughter might not be at ease all day, so he had to slowly say: "When the people from the Xiao Sect came here, they brought a gift called 'Tongxuan Powder'. I heard from that Xiao Kuangyun that this Tongxuan Powder has a good repairing effect on damaged Xuanmai. So..."
"Ah! Can the damaged Xuanmai be repaired? Really?" Before Xiao Lie finished speaking, Xiao Lingxi had already exclaimed in excitement, and her two little hands suddenly clenched the corners of her clothes. Repairing Xiao Che's Xuanmai has always been her greatest wish. In the past few years, she and Xiao Lie have been working hard to find various possible methods. Xiao Lie's words were like heavenly music to her.
"The effect of Xiao Zong's elixir is incomparable to ordinary elixirs. Perhaps it can really work wonders." At this point, Xiao Lie's expression gradually dimmed: "However, the main function of Tongxuan Powder is to speed up the cultivation speed within a certain period of time. Now, the sect leader and others regard this 'Tongxuan Powder' as a treasure. To let them use the 'Tongxuan Powder' on Che'er, who is useless in their eyes... the hope is really slim."
Xiao Lingxi's expression froze. Xiao Lie's words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished all her excitement. She bit her lip and said firmly, "No matter what method we use, we must get the Tongxuan Powder. Xiao Che is not useless! He is the one who needs the Tongxuan Powder the most!"
"I will try my best to get it." Looking at his daughter's expression, Xiao Lie sighed deeply. But he knew in his heart how little hope there was to get the Tongxuan Powder... or rather, it was simply impossible.
…………………………
Night falls.
"I met Xiao Kuangyun from the Xiao Sect today."
The candlelight flickered in the room. Xia Qingyue sat beside the bed and spoke calmly.
"Oh...what kind of person is he?" Xiao Che yawned and asked casually, looking completely unconcerned.
"The name suits the person." Thinking of the way Xiao Kuangyun looked at her, Xia Qingyue's brows knitted slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. Her master had told her that among the four sons of the Xiao Sect's leader, the other three sons were considered dragons among men, but the fourth son was a complete idiot, but he was the most favored by the Sect Leader, perhaps because he was the youngest and the only son born to the main wife.
"It's normal. You can easily guess what kind of people Xiao Zong would send to this place. But it won't bother me anyway. At most, I'll just go through the motions tomorrow." Xiao Che shrugged and said, then suddenly his brows moved, his face became slightly solemn, and he looked up and asked, "Qingyue, you said you saw him? Did he see you too?"
“That’s right…what?” Xia Qingyue glanced sideways.
Xiao Che raised his hand and tapped his chin, then suddenly said, "You said before that he was a person with a very bad reputation. This kind of person... Huh, Qingyue, if I'm not mistaken, your master should be near Liuyun City, right?"
“…How did you know?” A hint of surprise flashed across Xia Qingyue’s face.
Xiao Che did not explain, and said seriously: "In this case, find a way to contact your master, and ask her to come to this place tomorrow..." After thinking about it, his expression became relaxed again: "Since your master is nearby, it is probably nothing serious, go to sleep."
Xia Qingyue raised her slender eyebrows slightly, pondered for a while, and then thought about the look in Xiao Kuangyun's eyes in the afternoon, and finally understood the meaning of Xiao Che's words. Her expression was suddenly moved, and she subconsciously reached out and pinched an icicle-shaped sound transmission note at her waist.
Watching Xiao Che arranging the blanket in the corner, her eyes flickered slightly, and her lips moved several times before she finally uttered, "Go to bed."
"Ah?" Xiao Che turned around, his eyes widened and he asked, "Qingyue, my dear wife, what did you say?"
Xia Qingyue turned away directly, not wanting him to see her expression at that moment, and said coldly: “Forget it if you didn’t hear it!”
“I heard it! How could I not have heard it!” Xiao Che nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, threw the blanket in his hand, and quickly jumped onto the bed, looking at Xia Qingyue with a smile: “Qingyue, my dear wife, are you sleeping inside or outside tonight?”
"..." Xia Qingyue didn't say anything. She waved her snow-white hand and extinguished all the red candles in an instant. The room suddenly became pitch black. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She stretched out her hand to push Xiao Che inside, pulled the blanket over them, and lay down with her back to Xiao Che. She said in a cold voice: "Don't think too much. I just want you to help me adjust my body at three in the morning... Don't do anything you shouldn't do! Otherwise, I will never let you sleep in my bed again!"
"Yes, my dear wife!" Xiao Che pulled the quilt, sniffed the lingering girl's body fragrance, and said happily.
Now Xiao Che calls her "wife" dozens of times a day. From the initial anger, it has become very natural to her now. At the same time, it also makes her feel indescribable that "I am his wife". This subtle change makes her flustered and confused. She closed her eyes and tried not to think about these things that made her upset. Not long after, she fell into a peaceful sleep.
Time passed unknowingly and it was three o'clock in the morning. This was the darkest time before dawn. The entire Xiaomen was quiet, and only the occasional buzzing of mosquitoes could be heard.
In the darkness, a slight "creaking" sound was heard from Xiao Lingxi's yard. The tightly closed door slowly opened with the sound, and a petite black shadow slowly poked out. After looking around for a while, it quickly rushed out.
Before the black shadow could step out of the courtyard gate, a tall gray shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of her. A young girl exclaimed, followed by a serious voice that was suppressed with great effort: "Xier, where are you going so late?"
"Ah! Daddy!" The frightened black figure pulled down the veil on his face, revealing a charming young girl's face. It was Xiao Lingxi. Looking at Xiao Lie who suddenly appeared in front of her, she panicked for a moment: "I... I... I..."
"Alas!" Xiao Lie sighed deeply and whispered, "Xi'er, you are going to steal the Tongxuan Powder, right?"
“I…I…” Xiao Lingxi lowered her head and hesitated for a while.
"You are my biological daughter. How can I not know what you are thinking?" Xiao Che sighed again and stepped forward to pat his daughter's shoulder. "When you left me this afternoon, I felt that your eyes were not right, so I was worried and came to watch... As expected, you were thinking of stealing Tongxuan Powder... Xier, you are so ridiculous. Do you know how dangerous this is? That Tongxuan Powder is not an ordinary thing. It is a gift from Xiao Zong. If your whereabouts are discovered, it will be against Xiao Zong. At that time, the four people from Xiao Zong will punish you. Don't say me. There is no one in Liuyun City who can save you."
Xiao Lingxi lowered her head and bit her lip, “I… I know all this. But… but… Xiao Che is so pitiful. He is so good, but he is always laughed at, looked down upon, and treated as a waste by everyone. If he can repair his profound veins, then he will no longer be laughed at, and he will not be worse than anyone else…”
Xiao Lie opened his mouth, a look of grief flashing across his face.
“I often wonder why it was Xiao Che who had his Xuanmai damaged, and not me… This world is so unfair to him… Dad, do you know how sad I feel every time I see Xiao Che being laughed at by others and pretending to be nonchalant to comfort me… If I can restore his Xuanmai, I would be willing to become a thief… Even if I have to die as punishment…”
As she spoke, Xiao Lingxi's eyes were already filled with tears. She covered her cheeks with her hands and finally couldn't hold back her sobs.
Xiao Lie's face was filled with emotion. Looking at his daughter crying, his heart was also filled with pain. He comforted her softly, "Xi'er, I know you are doing this for Che'er, but, let's not talk about the consequences of doing this. Xiao Yunhai didn't give the box of Tongxuan Powder to anyone after he got it. He should have been carrying it with him. With your ability, how could you steal it from Xiao Yunhai? Be obedient and go back to sleep. I will try my best to find a way to deal with the Tongxuan Powder. Although I haven't fought for anything in these years, I still have a certain say in the Xiao Clan. It's not completely hopeless to fight for the Tongxuan Powder. Don't do such stupid things anymore. If something really happens to you... who will take care of and protect Che'er in the future?"
Xiao Lie's last words gently touched Xiao Lingxi's soft heart, causing her to suddenly feel a sense of fear... Yes! If I fail and get caught and severely punished, what should Xiao Che do...
“I… I understand.” Xiao Lingxi took off her black clothes and threw them aside. She wiped the tears from her face and said with a guilty look, “Dad, I’m sorry. I did something stupid again and made you worry. I will go to bed now and not do this again… Dad, you should go back and rest soon too… I promise not to steal Tongxuan Powder again.”
"Haha, just be obedient." Xiao Lie nodded and smiled gently. But before leaving, he still picked up the black clothes on the ground and took them away.
